Each month's packet of materials centers around a theme. "We play editorial roulette," says Brown. "We try to anticipate what's going to be hot." Sometimes it is uncanny how hot the subject can be.

Instead, to his credit, Flynn has painstakingly gathered together Lombardi's notes about how to play football and organized them in a remarkable book, faithful to the simple and relentless Lombardi vision of the game.
